Our tooth fairy brings books!

PMSL - only you pigpen... :rotfl: Great idea though, I like giving something rather than money too... did a mixture when mine were small, they never expected money which was great...

think he dropped something, but he wants us to do a deep clean this weekend (his last exam's tomorrow so a couple of weeks off studying- what kind of affect have I had on him? )

A good one by the sounds of it... I was going to say give him the hoover then, but he's gone and got it himself... :eek:

Okay then - how do I add some of these fab smilies from other web-sites. Sorry - bit of a techno-dinosaur

Right click on the actual smilie and then click copy, go to the post you want to put the smilie in and click 'ctrl v' and it should paste in (or you can right click and paste) HTH

Morning all :hello:
Not sure what was wrong first half of week (I'm going to blame the tooth) but I am feeling much better today - so the positive vibes (for which I am very grateful you lovely bunch) can be redirected to the really poorly.

Off for a shower - will look in again with my brekkie then think about braving M&S

ATTENTION ALL..........

Can we have a list of Toots good points please????????

1. She is a wonderful friend (Pigpen)
2. She is wonderfully encouraging (FrankieM)
3. She is very supportive of everyone (A&W's Mum)
4. She is a CONFIDENT meeter and greeter on the thread (A&W's Mum)
5. She is great at setting her mind to tasks and getting them done (Just think of that kitchen table and that bedroom!!!) (Flower)
6. She brightens everyone's day and no-one can be miserable for long when she's around! (Juliejim)

Here's mine:

7. She's sensitive to other people's feelings.
8. She doesn't do self pity (given what she's putting up with, that's amazing!)
9. She's considerate and thoughtful.
10. She's interested in other people's opinions.

Morning Toots I hope this list is making you feel better!! ((hugs))

Morning everyone...I'm not sleeping so well at the moment....maybe I need a new mattress. Anyway, I may need to try and catch up on some sleep this afternoon so I'll be cracking on once DD3 has gone to school. She is currently singing 'Lets twist again'...aahhh!
Sometimes its like living in a musical!
Hope everyone else is doing ok this morning

Cheapskate

Hello everyone
Meant to start flying with a vengeance this week, but, as usual, everything's gone pear-shaped! Decorator been here, so things disprupted, dad in hospital, so trips there & to do odd jobs for mum, toddler out of sorts & disrupted sleep, so really tired on top of all that! :eek:
However, I'm still in the land of the living & have done a ton of washing up this morning, off to get brekkie while little bean asleep, making shopping list & had enough tea to sink a battleship!
Hope to sort out newly decorated bedroom & do ironing today, cleaning bathroom when someone else around to watch toddler, & that will have to be it today. I WILL start flying soon, feel frustrated after reading how well you all do, & really pathetic that I can't get going!!
Hope you all have good flying weather, se you later!
